The fift dumpe.
On the fift word.
I thirst.
Iohn. 19. v. 28.
1
What thirst vvas this o ChristThat thou dist feele so fell
That made thee call for drinke in drought
That causd thee thus to yell.
2
Wast not for my poore souleThou didst cry in thy thirst?
That I might tast the streames of ioy
That man had at the first
3
And nere to thirst for aye,But haue the streames full glad
That ioy the hart, & soule, & all,
And blesse the mind thats sad.
4
Thou art the rocke o ChristFrom vvhence the source doth flovve
That makes vs feele noe thirst at all
But vp vvards for to grovve.
5
Come to this source my soule,And drench thy deepe sad mind
Thou cāst not chuse but here thou must
A vvell of blisse sure find
6
For Christ didst thirst for theeThat thou mights drinke I say
The streames that flovve from throne of god
vvhere Christ doth dvvell for aye
7
All soules doe thirst for thisAll saincts for this doe crye,
& bray as harts doe for the flouds,
And so to faynt, & dye.
